Nice shots, are these whitetail, blacktail, or what species ? The G2 is forked on one side which is not the norm for whitetail although non typical can be going in every direction : ) Deer are so red in summer and then totally different color when they get their winter coats. Cool shots

Thanks kids!
One thing I do miss. Well, I think I do but I've never had it, is "Stabilization." As you see in that first shot f5.6 - 1/50 - ISO 400 @300mm It's a little much, even for a guy who was Utah combat rifle champ. ISO 400 is a lot for the E500 as well.

?? 1/50 at 300mm with no stabilization?? I'm not going to get into any sharpshooting contests with you. I don't think I could do that well even with the stabilization.

There was a forked-horn out here, a few weeks ago. My BIL and nephew went out there and were looking at it. They couldn't've been more than 15 feet from him. He continued to eat, as if they weren't even there. My youngest cat decided to go investigate and still, the deer didn't react. The poor cat didn't know what to do. He kept creeping up and then jumping back really quick. It was hilarious! And just like your deer, he had no fear, whatsoever - or so it seemed, anyway. Eventually he wandered off. I was afraid that he would jump the fence, into the part of the yard where my goats are. But thankfully he didn't. I don't want the deer to discover the hay...
